This is probably a really dumb question, but please bear with me - I'm just
getting started.

Inside Mac Vol. II-6 desribes all sorts of neat stuff about device drivers, but
also makes some sort of statement about how they are normally written in
assembler. Is this just a dated statement, or is it still accurate? It seems
unlikely that it wouldn't be possible to write a serial driver, say, in
Think C. Anyone/everyone want to set me straight?
